Speaking of the author of the Dream of the Red Chamber, it is estimated that more than 90% will say that it is Cao Xueqin, which is indeed the consensus of many people, but the result actually originated from a test of the Republic of China.
In the early years of the Dream of the Red Chamber called "Stone Record" in the earliest versions, the Dream of the Red Chamber is not only incomplete, but also not signed, in the Qing Dynasty Dream of the Red Chamber there are relevant research discussions, the late Qing Dynasty Xu Ke compiled the "Qing Barnyard Banknote" recorded: "Cao Xueqin's book "Dream of the Red Chamber", popular for a long time, scholars and doctors have learned, called red studies. In the Republic of China era, in order to verify the author of the novel, two factions were formed: one faction was the old school with Mr. Cai Yuanpei and his famous book "Stone Record Suoyin" as the core, advocating that "Dream of the Red Chamber" was a metaphor for the remnants of the Ming Dynasty before and after the ming dynasty and the change of JiaShen; the other faction was a new faction headed by Hu Shi's "Examination of the Dream of the Red Chamber", advocating that "Dream of the Red Chamber" was Cao Xueqin's own family affair.
With the popularity of "Dream of the Red Chamber", the interpretation of the theme purpose is inconsistent, and the author of the Dream of the Red Chamber has also become a mystery. Hu Shi used Western scholarship combined with the Qianjia examination method to find a passage from Yuan Ming's "Suiyuan Poetry": Cao Zi Xueqin wrote a dream of the Red Chamber, remembering the prosperity of the wind and moon: Gaiqi's ancestors were Jiangning Weaving House, and his so-called Grand View Gardener is now the former site of Suiyuan. Unfortunately, his book has not been passed down, and those who are little known in the world have seen his banknotes. The dream of the Red Chamber was designated as Cao Xueqin's autobiography, and Hu Shi preached that suiyuan was the Grand View Garden, which was refuted by Gu Jiegang, and then Hu Shi's students Yu Pingbo and Zhou Ruchang carried forward the nonsense, making the new red science a monopoly, and the old red science was gradually abandoned and disappeared into history. But is Hu Shi right?
Who Cao Xueqin is, there is no conclusion in history, Hu Shi claims that he is Cao Xueqin's father Cao Fu. According to the notes of Yu Rui, Yongzhong, Mingyi, Yuan Ming and others, but these people have never met Cao Xueqin, but according to some rumors, it is believed that "Dream of the Red Chamber" was written by him, and Hu Shi could not come up with absolute evidence, many things are based on the local county chronicles, who is Cao Xueqin's true identity, whether he is a descendant of the Cao family who jiangning weaving (there is no name on the family tree, there are also widows and illegitimate sons) These are all unverifiable.
The Dream of the Red Chamber has been handed down in manuscripts, in the Qianlong years has been more than cattle hair, Hu Shi set the "Dream of the Red Chamber" in Qianlong's early works, but eighty times to write to spread, only a few decades is impossible, Hu Shi and Zhou Ruchang used two years to copy 16 times of the old book, Cao Xueqin died young, the writing time is not more than 20 years, write more than 100 times the Dream of the Red Chamber, how easy to talk about, not to mention the 16-year-old family road, can you remember so much all kinds of knowledge? This has been questioned.
Today's red scholars are bent on breaking into the Cao family's door, reading the family tree, digging gravestones, and have to prove that "Dream of the Red Chamber" is Cao Xueqin's family history, but they have not obtained anything, because the new red science is under the banner of "scientific research", coupled with the new school of red scholars, almost suppressing the old red science to death. This is nothing more than a literary injustice. In recent years, red scholars have been more obsessed with the fat Yan Zhai approval script, bent on figuring out what the last twenty times of the original work are, and they have to use Cao Xueqin's family story set, which is actually a black hole.
Today we may as well jump out of Hu Shi and use Cai Yuanpei's Suo Yin to see a few possibilities for who the author of the Dream of the Red Chamber is. Several clues were revealed in the dream of the Red Chamber
1, Zhen Yinglian actually alludes to: Liu Ruyi, Liu Ruyi's name at the beginning was Yang Yingpi.
2. Liu Ru lives in Daiyun Lou, which is similar to the depiction of Daiyun Lou in "Dream of the Red Chamber"
3. The story of Lin Daiyu and Dong Xiaowan is very similar
Cai Yuanpei's "Stone Record SuoYin" believes that this book is the death of the hanging Ming, talking about the loss of the Qing, as an anti-Qing Zhishi, Cai Yuanpei personally made a bomb to assassinate the Qing thief, so many of the views of this book resonated with Cai Yuanpei, he pointed out that the earliest version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" was nothing more than the empty karate man's "Treasure Book of the Wind and Moon" was obtained by Cao's descendants and modified into "Stone Record", Cao Xueqin was just a pen name.
Hong Sheng said
This statement was put forward by Mr. Tu Moge of Jilin Province, Hong Sheng was a master of opera during the Kangxi dynasty, the famous work "Changsheng Hall" is his work, and the author of "Peach Blossom Fan" Kong Shangren is the same name, Kangxi forty-three years, Jiang Ning weaving Cao Yin rehearsed the whole book "Changsheng Hall" in Nanjing, Hong Sheng was invited to watch, after watching it, he died of drunkenness and falling into the water.
(Hong Sheng statue)
The reason why people think that Hong Sheng is the author is that Hong Sheng's "Hall of Eternal Life" is exactly the same structure as "Dream of the Red Chamber", and the stories of Dou Tao, Su Hui, Zhao Balcony, and Long Bird in his "Tapestry" are exactly the same as the stories of Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, You Erjie, and Qiu Tong in "Dream of the Red Chamber". Hongsheng's hometown of Huawu, Hongyuan, Daguanlou, Lotus Xiangqiao, Qiuxue'an, Tianqi Temple, ChongXuguan, Shuixian Temple, TaixuLou, Shuiyue Temple, Tiezhan Temple, Bamboo Window, Cui fandai, etc., are all in "Dream of the Red Chamber". In Hong Sheng's late years, the "Four Chan Juan" appeared baoyu, 钗, Dai, 纨, feng, yuan, ying, tan, xi, Xiangyun, Mandarin duck, Jin Ju, Caiyun and other words.
Wu Meicun said
This statement was put forward by Fu Bo and Mr. Zhong Changshan of Fushun City. Wu Meicun, also known as Wu Weiye, was one of the three great masters of the late Ming Dynasty, a famous literary scholar, the number Meicun, the other sign of Lu Qiaosheng, guanyin master, Dayun Daoren, during the Manchurian invasion of China, because Qu Jie went north to Shiqing and was physically and mentally exhausted, after which he lived in seclusion in Jiangnan for 20 years, secretly formed a society against the Qing, and died of illness in Wu Meicun in the Kangxi Decade.
(Statue of Wu Meicun)
Wu Meicun said that the evidence lies in the earlier version of the Dream of the Red Chamber: "Wu Yufeng's inscription is "Dream of the Red Chamber"; Donglu Kong Meixi is titled "Treasure Book of the Wind and Moon". "The book "Treasure Book of the Wind and Moon" is his brother Tang Village's preface", combining the above names, and the result is "Wu Mei Village".
Many of the story prototypes in "Dream of the Red Chamber" can be found in Wu Meicun's poems. For example, the "Qingliangshan Praise Buddha Poem" describes the love legend of the Shunzhi Emperor and Dong Efei, which is very similar to the love between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu in "Dream of the Red Chamber". Wu Meicun himself had a relationship with Bian Yujing, one of the Eight Yans of Qin Huai, and after the death of Ming, Bian Yujing went up to the mountain to become a Taoist monk, and this experience was also in line with Miao Yu's Taoist identity. And Wu Meicun's "burial in monk's clothing after death" and "a round stone erected in front of the grave" also imply the meaning of the stone record in "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Venture to xinjiang said
This theory was put forward by the descendants of The Descendant of The Invasion of Xinjiang, the descendant of the Invasion of Xinjiang, the real name of the Xiang, the word for the Frontier, the number of the Nest People, also known as the Pu Chao, jiangsu Rugao people. He was born in the 39th year of the Wanli calendar of emperor Mingshen and died in the 32nd year of the Kangxi Dynasty. One of the four princes of the Ming Dynasty Fushe, his wife is the famous Dong Xiaowan, who has a flashy life in Xinjiang, a brilliant literary style, a beautiful appearance, and a poem that shocks the world, and his "Yingmei An Memoirs" describes his poignant and moving love story with Dong Xiaowan, which is full of emotions to read today.
(Statue of The Frontier)
Mao Xiang is a prince, dressed in gold and jade, and has a large number of slaves. The history books record that Mao Peijiang liked fragrant tea, aromatherapy, and elegance to the extreme, and Dong Xiaowan was astringent and astringent, and his feelings were very good; during the Manchurian Invasion of China, he secretly resisted the Qing Dynasty, was affected by the war, and his family wealth was scattered, and he was seriously ill for several days. This experience is exactly the same as that of Jia Fu.
In the Ming Dynasty, the great-grandfather of Xiang Xiangxian Gao pretended to inherit the fujia yiyi, and the two sides of the Rugao Maojia Lane were all the impostors. At that time, Mao Xiang ju xi fu was built by Mao Xiang's grandfather Mao Mengling, and Mao Xiang's father and two younger brothers lived in dong fu. The eastern and western provinces are of the same size, corresponding to the Rongguo Mansion and the Ningguo Mansion in "Dream of the Red Chamber". Maofu has "Ningxi Hall" and Jia Fu has "Rongxi Hall", which can be described as corresponding.
Cai Yuanpei believes that Dong Xiaowan is the prototype of Lin Daiyu, Dong Xiaowan is talented, can poetry and painting, and Lin Daiyu can be described as similar, both of them are sentimental, lamenting the tragic and lonely and self-congratulatory strange woman, Dong Xiaowan is only 27 years old, and Daiyu's return to the illusory realm is only more than 20. Relevant literature can be examined that in xiangxiang's lifetime, there were more than a dozen women who had love relationships, and in addition to his wife Su Yuanfang, there were also Wang Jie, Li Xiangzhen, Chen Yuanyuan, Dong Xiaowan, Wu Qi, Wu Buckle, Cai Nuluo, Jin Xiaozhu, Fan Jue, Sha Jiuqi, yang Yizhao, these women can sing and dance, good at poetry and painting, and the gentleman who ventured out of Xinjiang was a famous handsome man at that time, and the life process was very similar to Jia Baoyu. He was related to the Twelve Nobles of Jinling, and in addition, he had a good relationship with Qian Qianyi and Wu Meicun, and it was also conditional to write about Liu Ruyi and Bian Yujing.
Fang Yizhi said
Chen Xianxing of the University of Science and Technology of China proposed that Fang Yizhi say, Fang Yizhi zhizhi, mangong, luqi, dragon sleep fool, etc., the name of the law is Hongzhi. He was a famous thinker of the Ming Dynasty who advocated the combination of East and West, and the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Literature, history, philosophy, geography, medicine, physics, all kinds of scholarship are all-encompassing. Fang Yizhi was the founder of the Tongcheng sect, his family was far-reaching, and he was also one of the four sons of the Ming Dynasty Fushe, a great talent of the Mercurial Family, during the Manchurian invasion of China, Fang Yizhi became a monk, secretly resisted the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, and Kangxi was implicated in the anti-Qing dynasty in Guangdong in the early years, and jumped into the river in the Panic Beach and died.

"Stone Record" is full of "red" throughout, repeating many times "Ji Yue Rare", etc., without thinking, the author is the Zhu Ming Dynasty", "the old and the young", "Han Chinese people"! Fang Yizhi was ordained under the Cao Dong Sect Gate, and Xueqin harmonically pronounced "Xueqin", so the original meaning of "Cao Xueqin" was "Cao Men's Last Study", Fang Yizhi had both wisdom and ability, and had the conditions to write about the Dream of the Red Chamber, in addition, "Dream of the Red Chamber" depicted the "End of the World" Picture "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a novel that hangs on to the Qing Dynasty. The author borrowed Jia Baoyu's mouth to call himself "the people of Da Shun". Obviously, it is the heart of the Ming Dynasty. "Dream of the Red Chamber" scolds hu yu's generation throughout, obviously dissatisfied with the Manchu Qing, and Fang Yizhi and Mao Peijiang co-authored "Dream of the Red Chamber" is this kind of calligraphy view.
The characters in the Dream of the Red Chamber are all fit: the numbers of twelve, seven, and four, completely using Zhou Yi arrangement, Fang Yizhi and Tong Buddhist Tao, "Yaodi Cannon Zhuang" has a high study of Taoism, Fang Yizhi's grandfather and father all study the "I Ching", Fang Yizhi is called by scholars as "easy to learn" the collection of masters.
Gu Jingxing said
Mr. Wang Qiaolin proposed that Gu Jingxing was the author of "Dream of the Red Chamber", and Gu Jingxing was a red fang. Huang Gong. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Gongsheng was an examiner during the Southern Ming Dynasty. After Manchuria invaded China, it was repeatedly enlisted. Gu Jingxing memorized the drowning bo, and the lyrics and poems were all famous for a while. Some words reveal the thoughts of the homeland, the pain of separation.
(Gu Jingxing statue)
Gu Jingxing "can write poetry at the age of six." At the age of eight or nine, he read the history of the Scriptures, and under the number of lines, he was called 'Holy Child' at the time, and he had a bag of poetry. At the age of eight or nine, he read the history of the Scriptures and was called the first strange man in the world",
Gu said that the story of the psychic jade originated from the Huangshi Gong; the story of the shenying attendant and the daizhu grass, when it originated from the story of the ancestor Gu Aying, the story of Zhen Shiyin and Miao Yu yu living in Xuan Tomb Mountain outside suzhou, when it originated from the experience of living outside the Suzhou Zhangmen and Tiger Hill before and after the Ming Dynasty, Gu Jingxing's sister was lost in the war, and later married to the Cao family in Jiangning, so that they had an in-law relationship with the Cao family. All the imitations that appear in "Dream of the Red Chamber" can be found in Gu Jingxing's "Baimaotang Collection".
In short, no matter who wrote this great work, we are grateful that it tells us a story, records a piece of history, and paints a picture of a dream. And this dream we still hope to have a happy ending, whether it is the end of the story or the identity of the author, there is still room for further exploration. (Text/Boiling Wine Jun)
